All You Gotta Be When You're 23 Is Yourself - Free Cake For Every Creature

i’ll buy your ticket to the show,

i’ll buy you lemonade

if i only had fifty dollars to my name

i know you’d do the same

moving to a new city,

shaky footing till ya kiss me

now i’m philadelphia-crushin

walk three miles with me, honey

just for fun

cause all you gotta be

when you’re 23

is yourself

call yourself an artist,

work part-time at whole foods

it’s all good

displaced, thoughts racing, do i

settle down or keep moving

i am 23 years old today

where’s my birthday cake?

feel better cause with you life’s vacation

travel to the kitchen, get wylde on green tea

re-read our favorite stories, remember who we used to be

then forget it cause we’ve got a whole new city to see

and all you gotta be

when you’re 23

is yourself

call yourself an artist,

work part-time at whole foods

it’s all good

wear stupid lookin' shoes

defuse left-over teenage blues

it’s all god
